Napola, Fight Club and DSDS

[ayascythe]

Just back from my friend, watching all of the things mentioned above and woah, Napola is such. An. Awesome. Movie. And full of slash potential, you wouldn't believe it. (Or you probably would, huh, Nina? *winks*)
But gosh, so heart-breaking. *sighs*

I mean, movies dealing with National Socialism always tend to freak me out, because the absurdity of everything just causes my brain to implode. And then there's this wonderfully, wonderfully told story about those two boys who fall in love become friends and it's just all the more heart-wrenching... *sniffles*

But while watching the movie I sometimes really got that certain Harry Potter feeling, because of the whole boarding school setting and because Albrecht kind of reminded me of Draco Malfoy (son of a wealthy family, living in a huge mansion, being under pressure because of expectations of his father...). Of course, you can't compare HP with Napola, but still...

Anyway, great movie. I think I'm gonna go and read some of ninamalfoy's Napola fics now. ;P (Actually, I only watched the movie because I've seen her mention it quite often and because she writes fic about it.)

Oh, and the second of the Enns brothers it out of DSDS. Which is quite fine with me, because I only like them together. *g* And I think there's another little ficlet about them coming ahead...

Heee! Another convert! *cackles and rubs hands gleefully*

Heee. Yeah, you're right - the family dynamics have some parallels, even if the sons' personalities are reversed - Draco's a meanie, Albrecht's a sweetie, to put it short. *g*

And feel welcome to snoop around in my fics! Maybe you'll even feel like writing some, eh? ;-)
